UBS Sees Upside in Seven Hills Realty Trust (SEVN), Launches Coverage with Buy Rating

On June 2, UBS initiated coverage of Seven Hills Realty Trust (NASDAQ:SEVN) with a Buy rating and a $10 price target. In a research note, the firm said the recovery across the commercial mortgage real estate investment trust sector has been “notably bifurcated.” According to UBS, platforms that have resumed meaningful loan origination activity are trading at an average of 0.85 times book value, while those still dealing with legacy credit issues are trading closer to 0.20 times book value. UBS believes Seven Hills “stands out” as undervalued relative to its return-on-equity outlook.

During the company’s first-quarter 2026 earnings call, President and Chief Investment Officer Lorenzini reported distributable earnings of $5.3 million, or $0.24 per share. He noted that the result came in at the upper end of the company’s guidance range.

Lorenzini also said total outstanding loan commitments reached a record of approximately $776 million. He attributed the increase to the origination of three new loans totaling $67.5 million during the quarter and said it reflected continued progress in deploying the capital raised through the company’s December rights offering.

He added that loan originations completed so far in 2026 were executed at a net interest margin of roughly 195 basis points. According to Lorenzini, this was the highest margin level the company had achieved in the past four years.

Seven Hills Realty Trust (NASDAQ:SEVN) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that originates and invests in first mortgage loans secured by middle-market transitional commercial real estate properties.
